1. ISOBEL

Isobel, the light and heart of my world
Only wounds or death bring me home to you
What enfolds me when I close my eyes
Burst on cast-iron reefs

Isobel

A daggered torso orbits the sun
May trenches be finite – scars in the mud
May trenches be finite – so help me god


2. BLACK WINE

From heights of despair
Deep into the land
See shadows crawl to the lake
That shimmers like black wine

Always on the verge
Of self-exile
We re-ignite when our bodies coil
Like black wine

- Push your tongue into the heart of mine -
- Feel how my obsessions pour like -
- Black wine -

Listen how my thoughts do pour like…
Behold how tomorrow drowns in…
No star can pierce the void of the sky
Feel my obsessions pour like
Black wine


3. COMRADE

You have no right to count my wrongs
To judge the things that overwhelm
You have no right to count my wrongs
To gauge the shoreless realm of song

Comrades – we’re not
Antagonists – so what...

You reach out your hand
To the germless hand of god
While I crawled into the light
Covered in my mother’s blood

I saw you seeing me die
Dying behind my eyes

...You can’t forgive me seeing you hopeless...
...I can’t forget, I hope you see...


4. ENDTIME SISTERS

Pitch black was the night in westboro
“Come closer” you heard and followed

I vouch for all the gestures
You don’t dare to believe

You are still clay
Form you still await

Endtime sisters to you bow
For your loom I sing this song
After you new suns will dawn
And burn away archaic form…

...Endtime Sisters
- To you I bow...
